• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, place the burritos, seam side down, and cook to lightly brown and seal, about 1 minute. Turn and cook on the reverse side. Transfer the burritos to an oven-proof platter and cover completely in guajillo sauce. Sprinkle the remaining Chihuahua cheese over the top. Bake until the burritos are golden brown around the edges and the cheese is bubbly, 7 to 8 minutes.
